Tulkinghorn congratulates Johnny To

According to this morning's Variety, "Vengence", described as a Hong Kong-France-US coproduction , will be in competition in Cannes this year.

The line-up there makes even die-hard film haters like me drool: Tarentino, Almodovar, von Trier, Campion, Resnais, Park Chan-wook, Haneke.

Also gratifying is the almost total absence of movies that look like they might be Sundance favorites. Maybe the world is not going to hell after all.
